Hey all! Been a While! Still working on "Bluella"....She has been in the shop for a record-setting SEVEN months !!! (GOTTA find a better "bike Doctor"!) I had wheels re-laced, & thought I would bump this thread with a "before & after" of the rear hub...elbow grease is a poor man's friend! LOL!

Good to be heard from! Thanx! Nothing new unfortunately, She has been benched since July of 2015...was messing with valve shims & got in over my head...finally just threw up my hands, & took her to see the Dr. in February at IRS refund time...still waiting...re-laced wheels look great though! A set of nice chrome fenders, & I will have my 2nd body set together...next step, forever paint job!

Its fantastic seeing crappy old bits (the brake hub shown) turned into a great looking piece of art.
First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015
Second permanent bike 1989 FJ1200 dyno'd 140RWH, great bike.
Third ride is now the Frankenstein 1981 GPZ1100B1, getting new/ refurbished 83-84 motor soon
Forth my work bike FJ1200 1989 (same type as above)
